Higher Ground
Surfact Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking to embrace the future
Escape from the past
But something's in the way of progress
Progress
Success

My feet about to stay on this land
I'm nailed to the floor
My mind is set to feel the unknown
To leave home
Leave home

Whatever's taking hits at my door (?)
I'm letting it in
Beside me there's a storm arising
I'm fighting
The fears within

Your awkward self-confidence
Now is my time
Replacing my fate with a chance
Cause now is the time
And the end will break through

Following the trail out of here
It's easy to find
Thinking I'm about to see clear
I am near
I'm far behind

Your awkward self-confidence
Now is my time
Replacing my fate with a chance
Cause now is the time
And the end will break through

What if I can make it happen
What if I can make it happen

Your awkward self-confidence
Now is my time
Replacing my fate with a chance
Cause now is the time




And the end will break through
To you in higher ground
